Tales from the life of Lauren

Is It Just Me?

On my way home, I drove past those little Christmas tree/stocking/toy soldier decorations hanging off of the light posts and was so confused. It’s been September for the past 3 months, hasn’t it?

I’m not really sure how to put this feeling into words, but I feel way less into the holiday spirit this year. And I’m not sure why. Halloween came and went and as much as I wanted to be into it, I just wasn’t. Is this what being old feels like? Because I’m not old enough to feel old! By this point, I’m usually craving Christmas music, snowy Saturdays (where I can stay indoors all.day.long) and eggnog, but as of right now, I feel no such desire for those things. What is happening?!

Is it just me or is this time change messing with everyone else’s workout motivation?

The sun is seriously setting as I leave work and by the time I get home it’s pitch black outside and all I want to do is cuddle up on the couch and be lazy for the rest of the night. Help.

Is it just me or is everything about the Voice a joke?

I don’t watch but it just so happened to be on when I turned the TV on and I’m not impressed by anyone. Including the horrible Maroon 5 performance.

Is it just me or does everyone else think every restaurant should offer baby beers?

You know, for when you need to save room for actual food. Or if you’re Joey you get a full sized beer and a big ol’ burger and then go to a Nuggets game and spend almost the entire 4th quarter of the game standing in line for nachos. Where does he put it?!

This was my favorite part of the game. But really, I barely watched any of the game because I was glued to election coverage.

Is it just me or does a decked-out waffle make a Tuesday morning feel extra special?

If you don’t know the answer, then you should probably eat a decked-out waffle next Tuesday.

Considering that we’re kind of experiencing a mini blizzard over here, it definitely is starting to feel like the holidays. Fall never really lasts for a long time in my neck of the woods, so as soon as Halloween ends, it’s pretty much full on Christmas time.
